Surveillance

Excerpt from the surveillance
notebook of PI Fred Paulsen, an unusual man with a taste for a romanticized approach
to his job, a peculiarity he picked up from his love for writing. It often
helped him find useful information; not this time.

Beginning of
surveillance:Aug 1

Subject: Mary White

Age: ca. 38

Sex: Female

Physical characteristics: average height, light complexion, slim, long well
groomed black hair with an orange streak, usually worn in an up-do, feline
eyes, dark makeup (Goth?)

Clothes: Black - pants, never skirts

Content of purse: A semi-automatic 9mm Walther P99, no ID, a key to a P.O.
box nr 1214, black lipstick (checked when purse surprisingly left unattended
for a few minutes as subject went to get more ammo)

November 2 - subject found dead –
North bound pathway by the White Fountain in the picnic area, found by joggers around 6.45am, body was
displayed - arms crossed on chest, legs straight, clothes appeared not to have
been removed, coat pocket on right side empty and pulled out; black laced scarf
covering victim’s face, no visible blood, bruises around neck and temporal
areas, unidentified yellow powder around victim’s mouth with distinct ocher
odor, next to victim two branches displayed to form a cross, purse and contents
missing.

PI Paulsen went missing on November 8. His notebook was found a week
later at the same location, a cross made of two wooden sticks on top of it. His
body was never recovered.
